I once bought a little girls dress for communion because of the very nice lacedetails in the skirt. The dress was not my size, so i ended up using the skirt and dying it in a rusty blue colour, using simplicol dye. The waistband is made out of a matching fabric I managed to find. Already sewn into the dress was an underskirt out of polyester, not dyeable, that I reused for more fullness.
